     | 80 views

    Elijah’s call on Mount Carmel still confronts us: in a world of divided hearts, choose Christ decisively before silence becomes surrender.

    1. The War No One Sees There was no trumpet, no sword, no marching army that morning on Mount Carmel. The battle Israel faced wasn’t visible—it was spiritual. It was a war for allegiance. They still attended worship. They still claimed to be God’s people. But their hearts were split between two ...read more

    The Spirit of Saul is one of the many spirits coming against the church today. This message tells how to identify, confront, and demolish this spirit before it destroys a church.
